I remember a few years back when NIS were hurting badly, and they were just showing off Disgaea 4 for the first time. Quite different from today, where they’ve gotten big enough to open a second studio! Can’t wait to see what comes out of this new one, myself.

That is kind of impressive. I wonder what they did/sold to get well enough to expand… have they released anything particular besides Disgaea 4 lately, I can’t say anything comes to mind.

Disgaea 4 did very well for itself and has had a metric ton of DLC going as well, Disgaea 3 got its PSV release, and they released a few PSP titles like Makai Kingdom Portable and that Blue Roses game and some 3DS sticker game or something. From what I can tell, it’s mostly been D4 DLC and given its strong sales I wouldn’t be surprised if that DLC was making them a fair mint.

On top of that, their American branch has been going rather strongly especially as of late, localising stuff for their partners Compile Heart and Idea Factory (both of whom have also been enjoying healthy business) and also others like Imageepoch and Gust. And then there’s the ClaDun devs, whose stuff they publish and has been doing well enough to continue being made.

Long live NIS! o

… I just hope they put some more 3D programmers there

So what’s gonna be the focus of this new studio? Are they gonna be a dedicated social group? A dedicated mid-scale group? What’s the goal of this new studio?
